After doing some research I figured out that people recommend getting camber kit with Tein Stech springs. According to the specs I seen they do about the same drop, 1.2 front/ 0.8 rear for eibach and 1.2 front/ 0.9 rear for tein. And people say camber kit is not required for eibach and it is required for tein?? Now I'm confused. Is the camber kit mandatory?

 

the tein S techs will end up dropping much more.. i recommend going with eibach

 

I think youve confused the s-techs with the h-techs. H techs and eibachs have similar drops. With S-techs camber kits are strongly recommended. With h-techs and eibachs their not necessary with this drop but encouraged depending on what your budget is.

 

for comfort ride close to OEM i say go EIBACH!!!!!

 

^^^+1 You won't regret it. Eibach springs were worth every cent.

 

Thanks everyone. I could get exchage and got eibach on the way.

 

It's all about personal preference. I just installed my S-Techs and have never been happier. I love the slammed look and the ride isn't harsh at all. It's not a lot stiffer than stock, and it just looks amazing. Eibach to me makes the car look like it's nose diving. I just wish the back of the Eibach pro-kit was a little lower.

 

how do you guys maneuver over speed bumps? I'm thinking about getting the S-techs in a couple of months after winter but I have tons of speeds bumps on my school campus... wtf should I do?

 

^^Very carefully. At an angle one wheel at a time.

 

Angle into steep slopes and you'll be fine. My mazda was 3 inches off the ground and I drove it daily with no problems. You obviously have to be more careful, but its' defintiely worth it in the end. The car just looks

 

my cousins e46 is dropped and he has to go at an angle for every speed bump or to get on his drive way.. I think this is going to be too much of a hassle to do on a college filled campus with over like 6-7 speed bumps every day.

 

I like the look after putting tein stech in but I changed my mind to get eibach prokit instead because of the fact that i have to buy a camber kit which costs more than the springs lol.

 

When I had my protege5, I lowered it by 2" and got a big front lip. i nver let my sister drive my car.
